Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) (English: University of Malaysia Sarawak) is a Malaysian public university located in Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. UNIMAS was officially incorporated on 24 December 1992. Recently, UNIMAS has been ranked among the top 200 in Asian University Rankings 2017 by QS World University Rankings.[1]

The university took in its first students, numbering 118, in 1993 with the opening of the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Faculty of Resource Science and Technology.[2] These students were temporarily located at Telekom Training College, Simpang Tiga, Kuching, until 1994, when the university moved to its East Campus in Kota Samarahan, Sarawak. The university's East Campus at Kota Samarahan was officially launched by the Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad on Independence Day, 31 August 1993.

At present, the university consists of 50 faculties, 3 institutes and 60 centres. The Faculty of Language and Communication is the latest faculty to be formed recently.

UNIMAS was awarded an MS ISO 9001: 2008 quality certificate by SIRIM QAS International Sdn. Bhd. and IQNet on 13 May 2010 for its core management process at the Undergraduate Studies Vision (BPPs) and Centre for Academic Information Services (CAIS).[3]

UNIMAS has implemented and maintains an Information Security Management System (ISMS) that fulfils the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2005 and MS ISO/IEC 27001:2007 standards. The scope covers the areas for the management of UNIMAS Data Centre, covering equipment, system software, databases, and operating systems for the university's critical applications. The certification was issued to UNIMAS on 27 September 2013.

An international competition was held for the master plan design of the permanent campus. The winning design for the proposed new university was by Peter Verity (PDRc), the international architect and city planner, who, after detailed environmental analysis chose the present site for the West Campus.[4] The objective of the plan was to create an environmentally sustainable urban campus that, in the manner of Louvain-la-Neuve, would form the centre of a significant university new town. The interface between the fresh water and saltwater systems of the site is expected to give the opportunity to create a biodiversity of considerable richness.[5]

The opening of the new West Campus by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Haji Ahmad Badawi on 18 April 2006 was witnessed by 10,000 students, staff and members of the public.[6] The event was also broadcast live over RTM1.

On 2015, the university is granted autonomy status.[7]
